The best neighborhood in Los Angeles...Hancock Park

I don't care how you feel, I have to say that Hancock Park (in my opinion) is one of the best neighborhoods in Los Angeles!! Today I had a total Forrest Gump moment where I just decided to walk out the front door of my office, I wandered to the corner of 1st Street and headed further south on Larchmont Blvd until I made it to 3rd Street. From there I crossed over to walk through some of the beautiful tree lined streets that make Hancock Park / Windsor Square such a unique and special area in our city. I put my headphones on and just enjoyed how extraordinary these houses really are. Of course I took pictures along the way. I needed the fresh air to clear my mind and I just could have kept walking for hours. Unlike Forrest, I did not cross the entire County, State or Country.... but it did get me thinking about what a great place this is! Quite an affluent area I find that it is also quite a well kept secret from anyone who has not ventured into t...

Renting vs Buying in Los Angeles ~ a fantastical journey

Last night I visited a dear friend of mine whom I love to call my "LA mum". I met her 10 years ago when I was a student and needed a nanny job to pay the bills. She hired me and I immediately became a part of this amazing family with kids, dogs, cats, ferrets, hedgehogs... you name it they've had it! It was actually her real estate agents in Hancock Park that gave me my first real estate gig and taught me so much about why Los Angeles is the best place to buy a home! As we sat on the back porch under the fairy lights catching up we started discussing the value of her current home which she bought about 5 years ago. She was telling me how much the flips around her house were selling for... we did the math and realized that in the last 5 years her home value has gone up roughly $250,000. I'm not joking. If you've read any of my other posts you know I'm not joking. Los Angeles is continuously growing and with that population growth comes more demand for...

Buyers - Your Cover Letter Can Make or Break a Deal!!!

Good lord!!! It's been a little while since I put up a blog post - can you get writers block for 2 years?? Either way here I am - Stella got her groove back and you my friends got your blog back. Now let's get right into this... Often as a buyer you can feel a little intimidated when a property has multiple offers especially if you know that your offer may not be the highest one in the mix - but depending on the seller if you introduce yourself in the right way they may fall in love with your story and pick your offer above anyone else. I know! I know! Buyers are always thinking that these dirty sellers are trying to just milk you for as much as they can but there are a certain garden type variety of sellers who really do care about who moves into their home. There are sellers who know that their neighbors and friends want to retain the integrity of the neighborhood by not introducing investors who plan to knock their adorable California bungalow down ...
